Accelerating Innovation in Partnered Pavement Preservation

This project shall provide the Receiving Agency (hereafter referred to as "Texas Department of Transportation" or "TxDOT") with innovative highway pavement preservation materials, technologies, and procedures to provide a new platform for accelerating innovation in highway pavement preservation. The research results shall lead directly to their implementation. In each fiscal year of the project, pavement preservation needs will be identified and prioritized for investigation. The Performing Agency (hereafter referred to as the "Research Team") shall select identified needs that will be evaluated and addressed with a separate work plan, and the results will be presented in an individual mid-fiscal year technical memorandum and end of fiscal year research report on an annual fiscal year basis. The technical memorandums and research reports shall include findings and recommendations that can support the implementation of the new guidelines or policies, as appropriate.
